Ingredients
Scale
- 8 pieces sirloin steak, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch / 0.3 cm)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 handful fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup (60 ml) dark balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) red wine
- 1 tbsp (15 g) dark brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup (60 ml) beef or chicken broth
Instructions
- Rosemary Balsamic Preparation: Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan, excluding cornstarch. Bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and intensify.
- Glaze Refinement: Remove rosemary sprigs and integrate cornstarch mixture, stirring until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, glossy reduction with a velvety smooth texture.
- Vegetable Sauté: Heat olive oil in a skillet and expertly sauté onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until vegetables reach a crisp-tender state with golden edges.
- Meat Preparation: Massage sirloin slices with olive oil, then generously season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and finely chopped rosemary, ensuring even coverage on both sides.
- Steak Rolling: Distribute sautéed vegetables evenly along one end of each steak slice, then meticulously roll into compact bundles, securing each with a toothpick to maintain structural integrity.
- Final Cooking: Grill or sear steak rolls at medium-high heat for approximately 2 minutes per side, achieving desired doneness while creating a beautifully caramelized exterior.
- Plating and Garnishing: Transfer sizzling rolls to a serving platter and cascade the rich rosemary balsamic glaze over the top, creating a visually stunning and flavor-packed culinary presentation.
Notes
- Glaze Preparation Tip: Boil ingredients vigorously for 2 minutes to intensify flavors before reducing heat, ensuring a rich and concentrated balsamic reduction.
- Vegetable Sautéing Technique: Cook vegetables until crisp-tender to maintain texture and prevent mushiness, using medium-high heat for optimal caramelization.
- Steak Rolling Hack: Secure rolls with toothpicks tightly to prevent unraveling during cooking, ensuring even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Doneness Control: Adjust cooking time based on preferred steak doneness, using 2 minutes per side as a general guideline for medium-rare to medium results.
